A number of deals in real estate have taken place within the ltist few dayr and the market seems to lie very lively. Some are buying for investments while others are seeking homes and all kinds of property is bringing good prices. Mr. M. A. Bush lias purchased the home of Mr. Shi Gray on For syth street and will move into it. in a short while. This is a very desirable place ami no doubt will make Mr. Bush a good home. Mr Gus Smith him bought. <lie home of Mr. Z. 'I 1 . Evans on Elm street, and will take up abode there shortly. In securing this In* came into possession of a nice home and he is fort unate in gettn g it. Mr. Evans has not decided wliat he will do but will board for the pres ent and probably buy or build again in a short while. Mr J. 15. Bankson has purchas ed the Pounds place on Holmes street and the home of Mr. W.H. Ellington on Zobulon street,. These two are good investments no doubt Mr. Bankston will rea lize well on them, it will he re membered that he bought the Head place on Greenwood st some time ago. This has been greatly improved since he came into possession of it and now pres ents a neat appearance. The deal was consummated this week whereby Mr. J. A. McCary came into possession of a 119x200 feet lot owned by Mrs. L. E. Veal which faces on Greenwood street and adjoins the place of Mr. W. B. Smith on that street. Mr. Mc- Crary will probably erect thereon in a few months a handsome home. The lot is a very valuable one and will make him a desirable place. The Presbyterian church also purchased the lot from Mrs, Veal that lies between the home of Mr. O. M. Jones and the lot bought by Mr. J. A. McCrary. The plot is 00x150 feet and fronts on Green wood street. The Presbyterians will in the near fulure erect there on a manse. It will make a beau tiful place and they are fortunate in securing it. The building of these homes will add much to this comma nity. Stockholders Meeting of the First National Bank.

JHHH Madden For The Senate. Under the system that prevails in the district it will be our time to furish the next senator front this senatorial district and in do ing so it is very important that we should present a man that will be thoroughly acceptable to the others counties of the district, and to do this we must name one who is broad and liberal in his views, one who will be in sympa thy with every interest of the peo ple of tin* district and who will have the ability to serve them intelligently and efficiently. In this connection the name of Hob. John F. Madden is suggested. Mr. Madden is a man preeminently of the people. His business life has brought him in touch with all classes. He was a gallant Confede rate soldier, and at the close of the war being quite a young man, he took up the battle of life and has fought it bravely, honorably and successfully. Hi? ability and experience eminently fit him for the position for which he has been named. Asa farmer lie has been successful, as a merchant he haa demonstrated that he is a man of fine business qualifications, as a member of the House of Repre sentative for several times, he has a record as a safe and conservative ’egislator. The people will nmkft no mistake if they should confer this additional honor upon him. A Friend. NUMBER 49
